The work of photographer Remi Ochlik, killed in Syria

Fighters believed to be pro-government mercenaries and snipers are captured by rebel fighters in the Tripoli neighborhood of Abu Slim during the final resistance of Gadhafi loyalist forces, on Sept. 25, 2011.

Just 28 when he died, Remi Ochlik had been photographing in conflict zones since 2004, when he covered the violent unrest in Haiti surrounding the downfall of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.

The resulting work won an award for young reporters at the Visa pour l'image photojournalism festival. Jean-François Leroy, director of the festival, expressed his admiration for the work of Ochlik, then barely out of his teens.
